Delhi Capitals have a strong batting lineup that can put big scores on the scoreboard and chase them down as well. Apart from this, they have experienced all-rounders in the team who can both bat and bowl. However, the bowlers’ position looks weak in the DC team as they have only a few aggressive and in-performing bowlers like Kuldeep Yadav, T Natarajan and Mitchell Starc. If these bowlers get injured, they are left with only all-rounders and this can affect the overall performance of the team and they may lose the match.
